- bryanrasmussen 1y agoI'm generally pretty good at figuring out even the most abstruse jokes, but not getting this one. Care to explain?
- kragen 1y agoIt wasn't that abstruse 15 years ago. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/kanye-interrupts-imma-let-you-finish https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/kanye-interrupts-imma-let-you... The difference, in my view, is that Taylor Swift wasn't being incorrectly given credit for Beyoncé's video.
- bryanrasmussen 1y agook yeah I knew the reference I just wasn't getting how they thought it applied here.
- chucksmash 1y agoAt one point this morning, this thread was about 50% posts by someone repeatedly pointing out that it wasn't the founder of Project Gutenberg who had passed away and being maybe a little precious about writing their dates with a leading zero. Imo, it was a valid criticism.
- sevensor 1y agoOn the award of her Grammy, Kanye West grabbed the microphone and said this to Taylor Swift. I think Newby is Swift in this analogy. Edit: MTV Video Music Award, not Grammy.
- dkga 1y agoWow I can’t believe this happened!
- kragen 1y agoJust wait until you find out who won the US presidential election.
- giancarlostoro 1y agoI can't tell if sarcasm, but he was very drunk, and it became one of his first big scandals. He's had so many more after that it pales in comparison.
- dinkelberg 1y agoI do not think that GP's comment was meant that way. GP simply wanted to clear up a misunderstanding that was apparently created by the renaming of this thread to "Greg Newby, CEO of Project Gutenberg, has died", which has been undone since. I am sure GP did not mean to detract from Greg Newby's contributions to the project.
